Cycle Plugin failing to work...

Cycle Plugin failing to work...

Well, I'm sorry to be posting.  I did a search for both the plugin and that it is not working, but could not find a solution on my own...  I have everything installed, to my knowledge, correctly.  .js files are in a /js/ folder along with the CSS file.  Despite all of this, the images just sit there in a cascade down the page...  Any help is appreciated :)

Here is what I have;
